How does a yard replenish mass when grass is constantly being cut and discarded?
In: 176
Green lawns get a bunch of fertilizer. Often it is minerals mined in open pit mines. The other half of the equation is broad leaf herbicides to get rid of native species.
Collecting grass clippings and taking leaves robs the soil of nutrients that are part of tree and plant life cycles. Replacing those nutrients with minerals from mines and pesticides makes a lawn that looks like a golf course.
